0'BRIEN'S LIFE In PRISON.
5000 PEOPLE WITH BANDS IN
FRONT OF THE JAIL.

The Prisoner Appears at One of the
Windows and Waves His Handker-
chief-He and Mr.. Vaudeville Put On
the Bread and Water Diet.
DUBLIN Nov. Eight thousand persons
assembled in front of Tullamore Jail last
evening, accompanied by bands of music
playing ''God Save Ireland" Mr.. O'Brien
appeared at one Of the windows and waved
his handkerchief.
Freemaa'S Journal says Messrs. O'Brien
and Vaudeville have been put on bread and
water as punishment for refusing to wear
the prison garb.
The Governor of the Jail to-day refused
the demand of Mr.. Moorehead, Catholic
magistrate, to see Mr.. O'Brien, but on learn
ing that the magistrate had legal right to
hold intercourse with the prisoner, sent for
Mr.. Moorehead and informed him that the
desired interview would be granted stipulat-
ing, however, that he himself should also be
present Mr.. Moorehead says the atmos-
phere in Mr. O'Brien's cell, together with
the bread and water diet, is likely TO have a
fatal effect on the consumptive person. The
breaking down of Mr. O'Brien's consttu-
ton, he thinks is only question of time.
Mr.. Moorehead asked Mr.. O'Brien whether
he had any complaint to make regarding
his treatment, and Mr.. O'Brien replied that
his system had not been excited by undue
severity of the officials. Mr.. Vaudeville,
Mr.. Moorehead says, appeared cheerful and
determined.
sTAUNCH FRIEND OF IRELAND.
LONDON, Nov. 7.-Baron Wolverton, who
died suddenly at Brighton yesterday, was a
,,,lf - T,.e Il Il
mated 100000 toward the expenses of the
Home Rule candidates in the parliamentary
elections of 1886, and had frequently init
mated since that he would spend a like
amount at the next general election. He
was one of Mr.. Gladstone's closest friends.
The Freen,dn'S Journal, of Dublin, speaks
in high praise of his services in behalf of
ireland.
Earl Granville in a speech at Stanley this
evening, denied there had been mechanical
acquiescence by the Liberal party in Mr..
Gladstones lead on the Irish question. 1t
was not Mr.. Gladstone, he said, but Earl
Spencer who mad converted him. 1t was
impossible to cast aside home rule. He be-
lieved he would live to see the enactment of
home rule, though not all of its blessings
Mr.. Byrne, magistrate of Mallaw, who
was recently removed from Office by order
of Baron Ashbourne, Lord Chancellor of
II6ldIlls upp6ttIeu W 4uI oldoSOOue NuO las
replied as follows: 81 am unable to per-
ceive any justification for your removal
The present arbitrary and illegal proceed
ings of the government through their Of
ficers require jealous examination. Their
conduct is affecting the liberties of the
people of Ireland
Mr.. Thomas Sexton, M. p, at a
meeting to-day of the City Corporation,
of which he is a member, proposed
that the Council adjourn without the
transaction of the ordinary business as
mark of respect for William O'Brien.
He was Mortified, he said,
by the reports of the barbarous treatment
to which Mr.. O'Brien had been subjected in
Tullamore jail. The government had tried
to break Mr.. O'Br1en's gallant spirit, and
failing in its endeavor, was determined to
take his life In accordance with Mr.. Sex
toms motion, the council adjourned.
